Our Dancing Town

Episode 1: Barnsley

Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two Northern IrelandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

To kick off this exciting series, the first of three Yorkshire towns celebrates its history, heritage and culture in a one-off dance spectacular through the town's streets, with the help of West End performer and choreographer Steve Elias.

Steve begins his Yorkshire odyssey in the ex-mining town of Barnsley, delving into its rich industrial past, as he attempts to recruit a cast of hundreds. On his mission to get Barnsley dancing, Steve encounters ex-miners keen to commemorate their camaraderie, taps into the town's thriving Northern Soul scene and unearths hidden talent in the local chippie. But can he successfully unite them, and any other locals he has won over, to pull off his ambitious dance parade, which will be immortalised with one camera, in one continuous, unedited take?
